AP World History

How should I study AP World History if I am short on time?

Short answer

Study AP World by big processes first: trade, empire, belief systems, technology, labor, revolution, and globalization. Then attach examples to those patterns.

What to do next

Make a one-page chart with process, time period, region, and one evidence example.

The common mistake

Trying to memorize every event equally instead of using patterns to organize facts.
